Family Thanksgiving

There were 12 in our family group, from grandparents to two younger children 4 and 7. We all enjoyed the amount of space in the house. The extras were great - completed about 3 of the puzzles. The kitchen was fantastic for preparing food for a large group. We all enjoyed our stay.

Family Vacation

We had a total of 16 people on this stay. Our 7 children, two spouses, and 5 grandchildren. The house was absolutely perfect for our stay. The wildlife, the amenities for cooking, and the giant dining table were the best of the trip. I would do it again and again.

We stayed at this house to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. I can't imagine a better home for that special of a family moment. There was wildlife always outside the door to watch from the deck like a newborn elk calf nursing or full male elk with glorious antlers. The kitchen and living room were large enough for all 11 of us to hang out or eat and not be in each other's way. Town is just 10 mins away so getting to the store, a restaurant, or go shopping is convenient.

Highly Recommend

Not only can this location house a bunch of folks comfortably, the layout is perfect for spending time together. We had 10+ people and could hang out in the kitchen or living room without disturbing people who wanted to sleep in. It was simply ideal for a group with different schedules and routines. Assist, super well stocked for a short-term rental. We had all the cooking utensils and random things we needed.

Beautiful and Comfortable Stay

We had a wonderful time at the Lodge. It was just what we needed for our family reunion. The kitchen had everything we could have possibly needed (plus some!) and the seating accommodated a large group of people comfortably. The only issue we had with accuracy of the listing is that the bunk “bedroom” wasn’t really a full bedroom. It is a part of the downstairs kitchen that was sectioned off with a curtain. It served our purposes well but it wasn’t a full bedroom with a door or closet. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone wishing to enjoy beautiful Estes Park though!

Great place for large family

We stayed here for a family wedding at Estes park. It was perfect to meet the needs of the 4 generations (age range 3 -86 years). The large kitchen was well equipped and allowed us to prepare and eat several meals. The large family room and kitchen table worked out well. Most bedrooms include a bathroom including one with stand shower which was helpful for our older family members. We had an issue with dishwasher breaking, and the owner responded promptly . It was a minor inconvenience to hand wash while waiting for replacement part but the owner maintained good communication. Over all wonderful house. Our family will treasure the memories.

This house was even bigger than the pictures show - it was a wonderful place to stay for 13 of us. We had a wedding in Estes Park, and not having any issues to deal with in our lodging made our experience even better. The herds of elk in the backyard 3 of 4 mornings, and a herd of mule deer 1 morning as well was so cool to see. The deck on the other side of the house was awesome too - we relaxed there our 1st day after travelling.

The VRBO app said that this is a 7 bedroom unit, IT IS NOT!! There are five very nice bedrooms, one area off of the lower level kitchen with a curtain to divide it from the kitchen which has 2 sets of bunk beds and the “7th bedroom” is a pull out sofa sleeper.Also the oven in the (main) upstairs kitchen did not work. The owner was contacted within the 1st hour of our arrival and responded saying “Oh dear, the previous renters didn’t say anything” and he would “contact his appliance guy.” By the end of our 5 day stay, no one had come to fix it..We were very disappointed with the improper listing and the lack of interest on the part of the property owner….

This was the perfect house for our weekend! I loved that most all of the bedrooms had own private bathrooms. Bedding was comfy and clean! Plenty of blankets, pillows and towels. We thoroughly enjoyed being visited by “the locals”! ;) it was magical watching the elk walk through the property! Only thing I would have liked that was missing… was a firepit on the patio for outdoor sitting area. We loved hanging out on the deck! But we made do with sweatshirts and blankets. The Chairs were all very comfortable (inside and out). I also lived the two kitchens… they came in handy for wedding desserts. I would highly recommend this space!

Estes Park, Colorado

Check in process went very smoothly and we were greeted by 12 elk across the road. Kitchen had plenty of cups, glasses, plates and utensils. We had two coffee pots upstairs and one downstairs. We had taken several paper products and didn’t need any as there was more than an ample supply already there. The only thing we had to buy was ice. The downstairs icemaker didn’t work and the upstairs refrigerator couldn’t keep up with 12 people.

The main kitchen oven door was loose and the refrigerator icemaker did not work properly.

Texas born and raised... we discovered this beautiful little 'Village' and Rocky Mountain National Park...We felt so fortunate to have this little piece of paradise that we decided to share with others, The three properties together sleep nearly 50 people in beds, a wonderful opportunity for family get-togethers. We have built/remodeled/updated to melt rustic and luxury together while embracing quality craftsmanship.Our home 'Newly remodeled' is the perfect spot for your getaway! With 2 levels, there is plenty of space to be together, and plenty of space to have a little quiet time away from the rest. Check out the other 2 on VRBO #653697 and #654406

Why they chose this property

This little Village is one of the most sought after destination areas in Colorado, close to airports in the metropolitan hub. Obviously the natural beauty, spectacular views and abundance of wildlife played a major role as well. We are located on approximately 15 acres, off of the beaten path overlooking Fish Creek and a beautiful golf course with trails aplenty for any family large or small to wind down at the end of the day. The views are spectacular and the mountain fragrance is unforgettable. Estes Park has major horse shows, rodeos and a Fourth of July fireworks celebration that rivals Denver. Estes Park is internationally known for its Scottish/Irish Highlands Festival that brings thousands of visitors to our community in the fall of the year. We're excited to share with you our beautiful little village. Thanks again for letting us help you create those special memories that will be talked about for decades.
